Chuck Green
Chuck Green was born on November 6, 1919, in Atlanta, Georgia, at a time when tap dancing occupied a place in both formal performance and the everyday rhythms of American street life. Known professionally as Chuck Green, he built his life around the practice of tap dancing and carried that occupation through the decades that followed.
Green worked as a tap dancer throughout his career, and among the things recorded of him is that he tap danced on the sidewalk for money — a detail that places his craft in direct contact with public life, outside the boundaries of any stage or theater. That practice connected his work to the vernacular tradition within tap dancing, where the street itself served as a kind of performance space.
Green died on March 7, 1997, in Oakland, California. He was seventy-seven years old. His life ran from Atlanta to Oakland, and the occupation listed against his name — tap dancer — remained constant across those nearly eight decades.

In any year, the stats in Iowa show we are in a relatively safe location, but that can change dramatically; a lot of it depends on what travels through our campus.
We made contact, but we didn't hit the ball hard. We made their defense look better than I thought it was.
Meg ended up settling down. She mixed speeds and kept a good hitting team off balance.
She's not overpowering, but when she changes speeds, she can be effective. I liked the way she battled.
